Another dent has been made by Niagara regional police in the fight against child pornography.

The force tells us they began investigating this month the alleged exploitation of children, and earlier today used a search warrant at a St. Catharines home.

Police found a number of pieces of evidence, and arrested 22-year old Harry Michael Ward of St. Catharines.

2 Counts of Possession of Child Pornography
2 Counts of Accessing Child Pornography
2 Counts of Distributing Child Pornography

He remains in custody, waiting for a bail hearing today in St. Catharines.
